    Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 6)

     

    “Well, that’s cool!” See what I mean? Riveting conversation.

     

    “The whole thing is, I’m trying to find a space, and I have a few places that I’m going to be checking out today.”

     

    “Oh,” I said, disappointed. “You’re gonna be doing that all day?”

     

    “Most of it.”

     

    “Oh, okay.”

     

    “Do you want to come?”

     

    “Oh, I-” I fidgeted a little. “What’re you doing again?”

     

    She laughed, that laugh that still sounds amazing on the phone, despite being disembodied and what-have-you. “Checking out a few spaces for my art gallery.”

     

    “I’d like to, I-would you do something for me?”

     

    “I will. As long as it’s not illegal.”

     

    “Oh, shucks. There goes my idea.”

     

    Bette laughed again. “No, what was it?”

     

    “My roommate, Spencer-he’s a photographer and I told him that I’d ask you to look at some of his stuff. Could you do that?”

     

    “I-”

     

    “If he’s no good you can just tell him that you don’t have any use for him and try to let him down easily, but I promised-”

     

    “I’ll do it,” Bette said easily. “I’d like to. Now?”

     

    “No, he’s at work. But you’ll do it?”

     

    “Of course. Do you want to meet me at Parkland right now? I’ll buy you breakfast-no, lunch.”

     

    My stomach lurched in that nice way it had a habit of doing when I talked to Bette Porter. “Sure.”

     

     

     

    And that’s how I found myself, less than a half-hour later, sitting at a table in Parkland with Bette Porter. And when I say “less than a half-hour later”, I actually mean “close to an hour later, which made Bette very annoyed because she had to wait”. This all owed to the fact that I spent maybe thirty minutes alone on my hair and I think I changed my clothes three times.

     

    But I finally showed up and sat down with Bette, which is actually exactly when she made her “It would be nice if there were some tables outside,” comment.

     

    “It would,” I agreed. “It’s a nice day out.”

     

    I didn’t mean to resort to talking about the weather, but frankly, Bette was doing that thing where she wore tight jeans again and I really think I should win an award for being able to form any coherent sentences, even if they were about the weather.

    1. That was really funny – In fact I’m glad all my co-workers have gone home because I just fell off my chair laughing. Great chapter and thirding what techgal said.

    2. Alice’s running commentary is just so insightful, for both of them. This quiet, sometimes introspective Bette is interesting to watch unfold. You are blending the quirky and the sophisticated nicely.

    3. Dude u crack me up!
      This is solid gold stuff, I only just like started readin it and I like read all of it, just now and man have u like got Alice down or wot!
      Well Done u!

    4. This Bette is coming across as a highly intelligent, cultured, slighly self-involved woman with a soul. Her thoughfulness of others, with Kit, Spencer and Alice shines through. She’s no Johnny one-note. Alice’s narration is a perfect vehicle for revealing her complexity.
      I want to be in this story. It’s so interesting and real!

      BTW, I take back my Cher comment…

    5. Oh my god, I was like laughing my head off all along, this is such a great story!!
      I have no troubles at all imagining them like that there when they were younger.
      Good job!
